The Empire of Orlys is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Shirley Leopoldina Carvalho I with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, prohibition of alcohol, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.128 billion Orlysians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salvador. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orlysian economy, worth 426 trillion Orlyrions a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 136,385 Orlyrions, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bike rage is all the rage, grandiose stage parents insist superyachts and private cinemas are children's basic needs, no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, and snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orlys's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Scientianity.

Orlys is ranked 284,480^th in the world and 284^th in Conch Kingdom for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 20.09 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
